Digitalisation of cultural resources in function of tourism development

Naša percepcija turizma treba biti vezana uz današnje turiste. Promjene njih samih dovode i do promjena u turizmu. Kada uz to još dodamo i tehnološke promjene govorimo o potpuno drugačijem turizmu od onoga što je bio prisutan prethodnih godina. Kulturne turiste ne može se poistovjetiti niti s jednom drugom vrstom turista. Od običnih turista razlikuju se po stupnju obrazovanja, većoj platežnoj moći, željom za učenjem i sudjelovanjem u kulturnim događanjima, ali i znatiželjnost te visok stupanj informiranosti o sadržajima koje posjećuju. Tu dolazimo do digitalizacije koja zaboravljenim segmentima vraća staru slavu, samo na malo drugačiji način. Doprinosi aktualizaciji i popularizaciji kulturne baštine koja je polako nestajala pod drugim segmentima turističke ponude. Najvažnije karakteristika digitalizacije je to što pomoću nje sadržaj postaje dostupan svima i u svako vrijeme.Our perception of tourism should be connected with today's tourists. Changes of tourists themselves lead to changes in tourism. When we add technological changes to the previously mentioned, we get a completely different tourism when compared to earlier tourism. Cultural tourists can not be likened to any other type of tourist. They differ from ordinary tourists in their level of education, higher spending power, desire to learn and participate in cultural events, but also curiosity, and a high level of information about the content they visit. This is where we come to digitization, which restores forgotten segments to their old glory, just in a slightly different way. It contributes to the actualization and popularization of cultural heritage that was slowly disappearing under other segments of the tourist offer. The most important characteristic of digitization is that with it, content becomes available to everyone at any time
